Everyday sexism: Laura Bates at TEDxCoventGardenWomen

[@benazeman]

Absolutely stunning statistics, presented in a way that I can't ignore. As a man, this is a call to me to act, until the statistics are no longer like this.

You're so so so so incredible Laura. The importance of this conversation cannot be overstated.

Was there to see this in person at TEDxCGW, and honestly couldn't describe to you just how electric the atmosphere was when Laura spoke. Truly inspired.

awesome speech, made me realize the struggle women face everyday, hopefully this project will reach it's goal

[@asjdhfgasudgh67]

Fantastic talk. Ties together the apathy towards "everyday sexism" in the street or bus to the workplace with the bigger picture of systemic degradation of women. Pointing out the nuances of peoples' reaction to "making a fuss" about harrassment and how that triggers guilt, shame and keeps people from reporting or speaking out about it. The implied 2nd class status of women in our society is harmful to everyone. Time for a cultural shift.

Laura Bates is such an inspiration, I'm so proud someone has finally taken a stand.

[@jokifka]

Amazing and heartbreaking at the same time....

[@ciarakelly282]

Wonderful talk. Thank you. Your air of optimism is so inspiring.

[@FrancesHawkhead]

Laura Bates is SO impressive.

[@zzhoward]

Fantastic speech! I love this project and hope it inspires change around the world.

[@Dani-uz2bk]

Fantastic work Laura! Inspiration!

[@mybeautifulexception]

Brilliant. This is so important and necessary. I hope everyone can take this on board.

Should have had more men in the audience to hear this!

[@noemiebourbonnais]

Seriously Laura, you're absolutely amazing.

[@davidjohnstone320]

thanks for sharing this, although many many males wouldn't dream of 'trying on' the stuff exposed here, really all men should hear it!

[@jmansraw]

Be the change you want to see... :)

Well done, Laura!!! It's a real pity that, in 2014, such a project has to exist, but it clearly does. My only advice - if you think patriarchy/casual sexism is bad in the UK, for goddess' sake, never visit Australia...

[@StinaWestberg]

So good, thanks Laura!

[@abigail1963]

Well done Laura

[@kkpancini]

thank you, Laura

[@Hellsconsort]

Wonder, does she support the ending of archaic alimony laws, the ending of 'positive' discrimination/affirmative action, giving men rights to paternity/DNA testing, more mens shelters?
